Bam Bam, Shockercito, Último Dragoncito vs Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Warrior: any match that seems to tease more Bam Bam vs Damian is a good match, but this was also good for Pequeno Warrior’s Mad Mod outfit. And the actual match, that was fine too.
Fuego, Sagrado, Stuka Jr. vs Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca, Virus: spending more time on entrances than on this match is probably not the way to go.
CMLL (FRI) 06/18 Arena Mexico [SuperLuchas, Ovaciones]
1) Camorra & Disturbio b Camaleón & Robin
2) Fabián el Gitano, Pegasso, Rey Cometa DQ Dr. X, Hooligan, Loco Max
3) Amapola b Princesa Sujei [lightning]
4) Máscara Dorada, Metro, Stuka Jr. b Dragón Rojo Jr., Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca [MEX TRIOS]
5) Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara, Máximo b Shigeo Okumura, Taichi, Yoshihashi
6) Atlantis, Jushin Lyger, Rey Bucanero b Blue Panther, La Sombra, Rayo de Jalisco Jr.
Rudos won the main clean with the Muralla Guerrera triple team submission. Match seemed to build towards a Rayo/Atlantis match.
Ovaciones quotes Taichi as saying he’d be back in November. Yoshihashi is in for three months makes sense; he’s missing two NJPW tours, but he probably wouldn’t be on much for the G1 (the second one)
Challengers won the first fall, but the champions rallied to win the second and third. Dragon Rojo, the captain, got surprised by a Metro German suplex for the win. Misterioso could’ve broken it up, but was too busy celebrating.
Dragon Rojo Jr. has now lost 8 straight title matches (3 Mex Trios, 3 CMLL SL, 1 Mex Welter, 1 CMLL Trios) since last March, and the last six have all involved Mascara Dorada.
Besides everyone challenging Mistico and Mistico talking about who he’d prefer to face (Averno or Volador at Anniversary over Aguila or Oriental), Ras de Lona also introduced four new minis

Lineups (so far)
IWRG (THU) 06/24 Arena Naucalpan
1) Dragon Fly vs Keshin Black
2) Comando Negro, Eterno, Hijo del Signo vs Guerrero Nazi, Imposible, Trauma II
3) Avisman, El Hijo del Diablo, Gringo Loco vs Brazo Metalico, Daga, Eragon
4) Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro vs Bombero Infernal, Maldito Jr., Samot [hair]
5) Máscara Año 2000 Jr. vs Silver King [IWRG IC HEAVY]
Semimain appears to be the whole teams hair vs the whole teams hair, not a captains battle.
Would figure Mascara retains his title here, and Silver King & Ultimo Gladiador retain their titles on AAA show, but it’s still hard to believe they’d do an IWRG match on AAA show.
CMLL (FRI) 06/25 Arena Mexico
1) Metálico & Trueno vs Cholo & Zayco
2) Ángel Azteca Jr., Ángel de Oro, Ángel de Plata vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Puma King, Tiger Kid
3) Astral vs Eléctrico [lightning]
4) Fabián el Gitano, Sagrado, Stuka Jr. vs Cancerbero, Raziel, Virus
5) Blue Panther, Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara vs Averno, Jushin Lyger, Mephisto
6) La Sombra, Místico, Shocker vs Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas
Peste Negra return match. Sombra & Mistico teaming up is interesting for storylines that only exist in interviews.
Theoretically, someone in a match here is winning (or has won) the Bobby Bonales trophy. Maybe Panther again?
That seems like an odd fourth match for a Friday show.
After this week’s female ruda/ruda match, this week’s lightning match appears to be a tecnico/tecnico minis match, though Astral hasn’t been around all that much and wouldn’t be a big deal to move to the rudo side.
CMLL (SUN) 06/27 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Black Metal (GDL) vs Relampago Azul

4) Neutrón, Stuka Jr., Valiente vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
5) Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero vs La Sombra, Máscara Dorada, Sagrado
Poder Mexica keeps on teaming. Neutron keeps working here and with Lucha Libre USA, which seems unusually open for CMLL.
IWRG (SUN) 06/27 Arena Naucalpan
1) Dinamic Black vs Mixteco Jr.
2) Eragon & Hijo del Halcon vs Comando Negro & Eterno
3) Freelance, Hijo del Pantera, Miss Gaviota vs Fishman Jr., Gringo Loco, Kung Fu Jr.

5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Hijo del Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000 vs Electroshock, Silver King, Último Gladiador
I guess Dr. Wagner is on the side of IWRG?
